Back in his hotel, Nick sat on his bed and thought. 'It was an accident. Nobody pushed me, it was an accident. Nobody wants to kill me. And there are hundreds of men in Vancouver with white hair.'
回到酒店，尼克坐在床上想着：“应该是个意外。没有人推我，这是个意外。没有人要害我。何况温哥华有成百上千的人有白头发。”
It was one o'clock in the morning, but Nick couldn't sleep. He listened to the cars in the road, and he looked at the night sky through his hotel room window.
已经是凌晨1点钟了，但尼克始终不能入睡。他听着街上的汽车声，透过房间的窗户望着夜空。
Then he sat at the table and tried to write some more of his book about mountains, but he couldn't think about his work. He got back into bed.
于是他坐在桌子旁，试图继续往下写他的关于名山的书，可是他无法静下心来进行工作。他又回到了床上。
There were four or five magazines in the hotel room. They were not very interesting, but Nick sat in bed and opened one ... and saw a photo of 'Mystery Girl'!
酒店房间里有四五本杂志。杂志并没有多大意思，可是当尼克坐在床上翻开其中一本时……居然看到了一张“神秘女孩儿”的照片！
He looked at the picture very carefully. But, yes, it was her! Jan, the girl from the Whistler café.
他非常仔细地看了那张照片。可是，没错，就是她！简，在惠斯勒的咖啡馆里遇到的那个女孩儿。
She was next to a man of about fifty or fifty-five, and they were in the garden of a big, expensive house. They smiled at the camera, and they looked very happy.
她坐在一个大约50到55岁的男人旁边，他们当时是在一幢很大很豪华的房子的花园里。他们对着镜头笑着，显得非常快乐。
Canadian millionaire, Howard Hutson, and his daughter, Meg, it said under the picture, at their home in Toronto. Meg Hutson! Not Jan. Not Mystery Girl. Meg Hutson, the daughter of a millionaire! Nick read it again.
“加拿大百万富翁霍华德·赫特森和他的女儿梅格，”照片下面这样写着，“在他们多伦多的家里。”梅格·赫特森！不是简，也不是什么神秘女孩儿，而是梅格·赫特森，百万富翁的女儿！尼克又看了一遍。
'Why did she come and sit with me in the café at Whistler?' he thought. 'Millionaires' daughters don't sit with strangers in cafés, and then give them a big kiss when they leave! Why did she do it? What did she want?'
“为什么在惠斯勒的咖啡馆里她过来坐在我身边？”他这样想着，“百万富翁女儿是不会在咖啡馆里跟陌生人坐在一起的，更不会在临走时给他们一个深深的吻！她为什么要这么做？她想干什么？”
